It's amazing how those old black and white photographs can be brought to life. It really brings the past into the present.

It's a shame that photography was not invented until well into the 1800s. Would be amazing to have photographs of Colonial America or even Medieval Europe. Of course, that's a ludicrous wish, but wouldn't that be something.

It is why painting, sculptures, and other arts works are so important. Not because they have aesthetic qualities but they capture what photographs eventually could.
